Dana...not always an easy choicesmiley: frown

I was one that just took the tough way out, knowing I would be DF.  That was over 40 years ago.  It's just been until recently it finally dawned on me that 'they' will never change; whereas my life has been an open book...speaking against religious abuse that's real; even as it regards the JW.

I'd suppose any of us could and have said what we did for how to deal with a very personal decision.

How do you deal with this...You take a stand for yourself, knowing how they are.  There really isn't any reason for you to play by their rules, unless that's your personal decision, based upon your personal circumstances.  No one here is going to judge you however you play it out.

What I'd wish for anyone is thinking that they don't waste the years I did in hopes anything would change when it doesn't as concerns that filthy religion.

How many lose family and friends because we took a firm stand against them?  It's sickening.
